SHAH ALAM: DiGi.Com Bhd has successfully achieved 50% population coverage for its 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network nationwide, possibly giving it the widest network for high-speed mobile broadband in Malaysia among the “big three” telcos presently.

The milestone exceeded DiGi’s internal target of 45% for the whole year and is a substantial increase from 33% back in May, said chief executive officer Albern Murty. DiGi is allocating up to RM900mil this year to ramp up its 4G LTE footprint in key cities and towns nationwide.
